Rochdale hooker signs new deal

Rochdale Hornets hooker Sean Penkywicz has agreed a new deal to keep him at the club until the end of 2021.

Penkywicz, 38, signed for the club ahead of the 2020 season. However, the coronavirus pandemic has meant he has only played a limited number of games for the club.

He told the club website: I’m made up to sign on for another year.

“Obviously this season didn’t really get started for us all, and I didn’t want to finish off under those circumstances. 

“I want to say thanks to Matt Calland and the board and hopefully we can have a successful season once we get started back up.”

On the latest deal, head coach Calland added: “Sean is a proven match winner and always leads by example on the pitch.

“He reads the game really well and he’s coming to the twilight of his career now and I’m really excited he’s decided to play on for another season.”
